Directions
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Add the oil to the Instant Pot set it to sauté mode; or heat the vegetable oil in a 4- or 6-quart (4 to 6 liter) traditional pressure cooker.
Sauté the onions, green pepper, and garlic until tender; remove.
Brown the chicken, 2 or 3 pieces at a time; set aside.
Add the tomato sauce, dill weed, paprika and a 1/4 cup of the chicken broth to oil in pressure cooker; stir until smooth.
Add remaining broth, stirring to mix. Return chicken and vegetables to the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot or pressure cooker cover securely. Place the pressure regulator on the vent pipe if using a traditional pressure cooker.
Set Instant Pot mode to high pressure for 8 minutes. Cook for 8 minutes, at 15 pounds pressure, with the regulator rocking slowly.
Release pressure at the end of the cooking cycle.
Remove the chicken and vegetables to a warm dish.
Stir flour into sour cream; add to hot liquid.
Cook and stir on sauté until the mixture simmers and thickens, and turn it off.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve as is or over noodles or dumplings as desired.
